Aqdus is also the Guidance Counselor at SICAS. Rashid Khalid Instructor Alma Mater: LUMS Rashid, a Chemistry major at LUMS SSE, adds a new flavor to chemistry for his students at SmartPrep. Chemistry with Rashid does not revolve around memorizing chemical reactions and formulas. In fact his lessons compel one to believe that Mr. Atom is indeed a spectacular creation. Teaching since the age of 14, he knows the art of stirring in his students passion for science. Asad Khalid Instructor Alma Mater: LUMS Asad, a junior at LUMS SSE, is the most recent member of the SmartPrep team. His passions range from reading fiction novels, watching television all day, being a computer troubleshooter for the technically challenged, coming up with seemingly brilliant ideas only to realize they have already been executed and trying to be meddlesome/helpful in whatever way he can. Most importantly though, he's probably in class right now trying to drill SAT drills into his students' heads and making a fuss about how we need to pay more attention to reading comprehensions and he just realized he's probably giving away trade secrets on a public forum! Oops. For more random blabber and fun lessons, come to SmartPrep! Ali Ahsan Instructor Alma Mater: LUMS Ali is a sophomore student at LUMS SSE and pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering degree, If things go well, he plans to add a minor in Biology. He is extremely passionate about science and books that extends far beyond what academic courses satisfy. Teaching excites him not only because he gets to impart knowledge and share experiences, but also because of the sublime feeling when I see my students get into the college of their choice. |
